I have this lense and have the bmpcc 4k, I took out the plastic part at the bootom of the lense and I started using it with my vilteox speed boster, it worked fine for a while but when it is zoomed out to 17mm it touchs the viltrox speed boster glass element , and when I took out the lense my viltrox glass was shatterd at the center and it crackd in 6 pices, aparently the lenses glass element extrudes out when it is at 17mm. Eventhough it works I don't recomand it to the bmpcc4k, but it works great with the 6k and 6k pro

Of course you can also add a small macro extension tube (12 mm works nicely) as long as you understand that it has to be removed for infinity focus. This also works with the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 and a speed booster.

With the speed booster I’m pretty sure it’s a 1.1x crop Vs full frame. So it would be like 18mm- 60mm (full frame) which is really wide

Be careful guys I just tested this mod with the Canon 0,71x RF-EF speedbooster and you CAN NOT use the whole zoom range of the lens. At about 22mm, the rear lens element touches the speedbooster glas! The rear glass element of the lens protrudes too far.

With filters it can vignette at 17mm depending on how many filters you have on top.

@@ZeekEOSZ helpful info...I've been using Promist and Var ND and I was getting vignetting wide at 17, but didn't encounter before... because "before" I wasn't using a Promist all that much - duh! - thanks Zeek.

[@dpixvid]

Bummer it’s 77mm filter, I’ve always used 72mm lenses specifically & obviously use a 72mm ND. I have the Tamron 17-50 2.8 vi and it’s handy focal length on Eos m. I like 5k frtp with Viltrox focal reducer & monitor but recently it vignettes at 17... didn’t used to? ML freezes routinely(latest build). High contrast sky/sun the worst.... The Tamron has a very short focus range, but recently bought a small rig mini FF and that makes it quite usable for rack focus even though it’s very small(short). Before...don’t even try. Compared to CY zeiss zoom obviously I’m noticing less sharp overall focus. But it’s faster for shallow DoF. Question do you reformat for next shoot every time you offload clips? Maybe helps for more ML stability? Edit: Stacked more than one filter which explains the vignette, non issue.

[@ZeekEOSZ]

I don't reformat each time. If I've finished editing all the clips on the card, then I will generally format, otherwise I just leave them on. I use a 512GB SD Card.

[@dushyantbhatt9345]

love your channel bro !! ...can we use this on sigma fp full frame with canon adaptor ?

[@gumiflex]

I have managed to remove the plastic cap. But after mounting the lens onto Viltrox EF-EOS M2 0.71x speedbooster, I have realized two significant downsides. First, the lens cannot be zoomed out lower than aproximately 30mm because the inner glass from the lens protrudes and hits the glass of the speedboster. Second, the vignetting is severe and cannot be avoided even while being zoomed in all the way to 55mm. However, using the "ordinary" Viltrox EF-EOS M adapter (without the glass elements) solves the issue. Of course, the lens will not be 17-55mm any more due to the crop sensor, but rather 27-88mm, which I find even more useful for photography. For videos, given that shooting at higher framerates and higher resolution crops the picture even more, this may be too narrow.

[@DineshBhadwal]

Thank for such an informative video. Will you suggest this lens and camera combination for paid commercial work?

Im thinking more about other lenses too for example 24-105 F4 (which can probably even outperform with speedbooster the 17-55 2.8) or just for my Sigma 150-600 if i want the „real“ 150-600mm instead of the 240-960mm.

[@MorphOrchid]

Which setting in ML do you use for taking stills

[@ZeekEOSZ]

I just use the normal Neutral profile for exposure/reference. Raw photo is seperate from raw video, but you can use magic lantern to help exposure like waveform, false colour etc..

[@MorphOrchid]

@@ZeekEOSZ Do you shoot them within the movie mode though or switch to camera mode, some ML profiles in movie mode are glitchy when taking stills, cheers

[@ZeekEOSZ]

@@MorphOrchid Yeah I use this profile also for video reference. I haven't experienced any glitch with photos at all. You could always use a seperate SD, but the glitch you mention could be from ML menu tab 3 under customised buttons, where you may need to fix half press shutter.

[@seifenhasedreizehn4077]

hey, do you think the same works with the 10-18mm canon?!

[@ZeekEOSZ]

You need a seperate Metal EF-s to EF Mount off eBay

[@trebs241]

Is it compatible to veltrox mount adapter EF-EOS M using my canon m50 mark 2?

[@openeyemedianl]

I bought the lens but it gives me so much vignette, is there a way to reduce or remove it

[@ZeekEOSZ]

It was explained in the video. You meet to shoot video in the crop modes. On the M, that's any mode other than 1080 mode. With the M50, in 1080 digital IS Enhanced will need to be used. For photos, you will get vignette unless you crop in post or use a 1.4x Teleconverter.

[@stephanematis]

Very nice.

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM

[@ZeekEOSZ]

I have the 10-18 which I've made a video about already with the Speedbooster. 17-55 is a very nice focal range, but for pure gimbal work, those wide lenses with IS come in handy! 🎥🏆

[@everythingANTHONY]

Hey Zeek, which Eos M camera is the best for magic lantern?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

The EOS M. The M2 isn't as developed and the rest of the M line can't shoot Raw.

[@everythingANTHONY]

@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you so much, I almost bout the M3, and seeing you make a comparison about dynamic range had me thinking but I'm definitely gonna get the eos M.

[@ZeekEOSZ]

@@everythingANTHONY The M has its quirks, but for the price, makes a good budget cine Camera + awesome photo camera. 🎥🔥

[@everythingANTHONY]

@@ZeekEOSZ Yes, I've been watching you all this time making a beast out of that camera, much respect.

[@beatpax]

You cant shoot in 1080 ....and Im guessing you used manual focus the entire time correct?

[@imothy]

Soooo, you just pop that plastic piece out to adapt it to the viltrox? Is this how most canon EFS lenses are?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Unfortunately not all. The 18-55 Ef-s and 55-250 can't. You need a separate mount conversion.

[@dinhtuananhvnu]

Can't you compare with sigma 17-50?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

I cannot as I don't own it. But a user I know is pleased with the 17-50 Sigma copy.

[@dinhtuananhvnu]

@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you. I really like the color of the Canon 17-55mm F2.8. Your video makes me want to buy this lens

[@ZeekEOSZ]

@@dinhtuananhvnu If you can get it a good price, then that'll be great 👍

[@martindemanable]

How is the focus trow on this lens? Is it long enough for good manual focus?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Not long enough, but decent

[@sondp]

Is your focus ring smooth? mine is jerky when making short focus pull

[@olemariusfrrisdahl670]

the image quality with the 17-55 with speed booster on m50 will the image quality go down

[@BlackinVegas]

i used a regular adapter instead of speedbooster..speedbooster made it fucked up for sure...u have to add that wide andle thing he talks about

[@Nigmatullaev_hh]

Canon m50 shot in video RAW ?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Only EOS M original. M50 I only use 4K.

[@rimonhalloun7253]

Whit photo shoots im still getting like a black frame all around the photos

[@marknongkhlaw1674]

Zooming sound?

[@ruff1draft]

Does the Canon Eos M have unlimited recording time limit and does it shoot internal 4k

[@ZeekEOSZ]

It depends what resolution. Anything 2.3K and below is generally continuous RAW. Max is 2.8K RAW @2.35:1, but not continuous. 5K FRTP is actual an upscaled mode, not true 5K resolution, but less moire/aliasing.

[@kayanna418]

would this be a good fit on the r7?

[@LouisLuzuka]

I think it’s worth the weight

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Sure! Doesn't feel heavy at all though 💪

[@MBFeniks]

Can any APS-S lens be modded like this? Planning to buy second-hand Sigma 4.5mm F2.8 EX DC HSM Fisheye Tokina 11-16 / 2.8 SD IF DX AT-X Pro Canon EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM or Sigma Sigma 50-150 mm 2.8 APO DC HSM If any of these lenses cannot be adjusted to the Viltrox Speed Booster 0.71x, what lenses should you choose in their place?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

Not any.

[@St0nice]

Does vignettes in 5k frtp with speedbooster?

[@ZeekEOSZ]

No

[@LouisLuzuka]

ARE YOU SERIOUS 😍

[@sarcasticfpv]

Quick question do you have to refocus when you zoom? I have got the older Sigma 18-50 f2.8-4.5 and you cant zoom in without refocusing

[@ZeekEOSZ]

With the Metabones speedbooster I use, it's pretty much parfocal. But with the basic Adapter, I have to refocus, but not my much.

[@sarcasticfpv]

@@ZeekEOSZ Thank you for the answer. I use the Viltrox speedbooster and with the old Sigma 18-50 f2.8-4.5 at least from one end to the other I have to refocus really a lot! Thats why I first thought it would be depend on the fixed aperature but then I stumbled upon varifocal/parfocal. If you have the 5min could you try the Canon 17-55 with the viltrox and report if its there also the case? Because I thought buying this lens would help with the problem. Good that I asked before :D

[@forcedtooverdrive]

@@sarcasticfpv I just got this lens. It seems that with the Viltrox Speedbooster and 17-55 combo you need to refocus after zooming.

[@MirchiBoy]

[@ondrejjanoska660]

I would call it at least cheeky the shot in opening sequence..... Bmpcc 6k looks sooo much better ....

BMPCC 6K is my fave. It's a great camera!
